"Are these all our warehouses?" Yang Jing asked with a frown, pointing at the seven or eight sturdy warehouses, each ten meters square, located in a corner of the warehouse area.

"Yes, boss. Since we opened this field last July, all the jadeite raw stones we dug out have been piled up here after being selected. We have no place to transport them now! Mr. Ale originally said he would come here last year, but I don't know what happened and he never came. The original plan for Mr. Ale to open a transportation route to China was naturally ruined."

Yang Jing nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, I know about this matter. I came here this time to open up the transportation route for Mr. Ale."

Wu Qinmao was delighted when he heard this. "Boss, if you don't come, we won't know where to put the raw stones we dug out. In the mines here, generally each mine has two to three warehouses as temporary storage points, and the other raw stones will be transported away in a short time. Our jadeite raw stones can only be piled up here because there is no way to transport them out. There is not much open space in the Damukan mining area, and we have to build four or five more warehouses. Not only did it cost a lot of money, but it also caused some dissatisfaction among the mine owners in other mines..."

While the two were talking, a local Burmese man with a gun slung over trotted over, stood at attention and saluted Wu Qinmao, then said something incoherently, to which Wu Qinmao replied incoherently.

They communicated in the local dialect, which Yang Jing naturally could not understand. However, it was obvious that Wu Qinmao introduced Yang Jing's identity to this person, so this guy bowed to Yang Jing very quickly.

Wu Qinmao explained: "Boss, this is our warehouse security captain, Tun Qin, a cousin of my aunt's family, who is absolutely reliable. Now he leads 120 armed team members, divided into four shifts, to protect our warehouse 24 hours a day."

Yang Jing nodded at the security captain with satisfaction, which made him feel a little flattered.

The warehouse area can be said to be the most important area of ​​a mining site. In the Damukan mining area, several adjacent mining sites usually arrange their warehouses together, and then several mining sites jointly provide security personnel to guard the warehouse area together.

Just like this warehouse area, it was built by the mine owners from five nearby mines. The warehouse area is surrounded by stone walls that are more than one meter thick and more than four meters high. There are tall corner towers at the four corners. The corner towers are equipped with searchlights and squad machine guns that use 7.62mm machine gun bullets. There are at least five security personnel from different mines on duty at the same time on each corner tower.

There are also a large number of armed security personnel patrolling constantly inside and outside the walls of the warehouse area. These large numbers of security guards ensure that there are almost no blind spots in the entire warehouse area. Even if 007 comes, he probably won't be able to sneak into the warehouse area without being noticed.

Only fixed security personnel and the boss or manager of the warehouse area can enter the gate. Others cannot enter at all. It is no exaggeration to say that even if Peng Jiasheng, the king of Kokang, came here, he could not enter the gate of the warehouse.

Although these jade mines are now under the management of Peng Jiasheng, the owners of these mines are not afraid of Peng Jiasheng. Everyone who dares to open a mine here has a very deep background, and the number of security guards in these mines is as high as several hundred people, and their equipment is even better than that of Peng Jiasheng's army.

Therefore, even Peng Jiasheng would not violate the taboo and take the initiative to go to these warehouse areas.

Under the leadership of Tunqin, Yang Jing and Wu Qinmao walked into the warehouse area and followed a fixed route to the area where their warehouses belonged.

The four walls of these warehouses are built with stones, and the roofs are made of thick logs with ridges and covered with thatch and yellow mud.

In those days, cement in northern Myanmar was even rarer than munitions, and reinforced concrete prefabricated panels were even rarer. These warehouses were built entirely with local materials.

The warehouse doors were also nailed together with logs. Iron doors? Don't even think about it in this era. In the 1980s, no matter which mining area, all warehouse doors were made of local materials and nailed together with thick logs.

Tunqin happily opened the lock and untied the iron chain that was as thick as a child's arm. He called three guards over, and the four of them worked together to push the door open enough for someone to walk in.

This kind of door also has a built-in anti-theft function. There is no door hinge, so a door weighing 800 to 900 kilograms requires at least three or four people to push it open. One person may be able to sneak into the mining area, but the probability of two or three people sneaking in together is almost zero.

This is just like the "ghost-fearing ingots" used by wealthy families in ancient China to prevent theft. Those wealthy families melted hundreds of kilograms of silver and cast them into "ghost-fearing ingots". A large silver ingot weighed hundreds of kilograms. Even if the thieves sneaked in, they would not be able to take them away. Ghosts would be worried when they saw these large silver ingots, let alone the thieves...

The doors of these warehouses are made in the same way as those of the "ghost-fearing" ones.

A warehouse is about 100 square meters in size. There is a wooden shelf made of logs every one meter. There are five shelves in a warehouse, and each shelf is filled with jadeite raw stones of small size.

Yang Jing looked at these jadeite stones and frowned. The number of these jadeite stones was much less than he had imagined.

"Old Wu, how many raw stones can be stored in this warehouse?"

Wu Qinmao immediately took out a black notebook from his pocket, opened it and looked at it, saying, "Boss, this warehouse contains the best raw stones that we carefully selected. There are a total of 4,156 raw stones with a total weight of 7.98 tons."
